Disney’s Polynesian to Suspend Boat Service May 11–June 5 for Dock Refurbishment

The closure forces Polynesian guests to rely on the monorail for direct Magic Kingdom access during a wider resort refurbishment.

Overview

  • Walt Disney World will close the Polynesian Village Resort boat dock for routine maintenance from May 11 through June 5, suspending watercraft to Magic Kingdom.
  • Disney says the monorail, buses, and walking paths remain available, which leaves the resort with one direct route to Magic Kingdom.
  • Work on the dock will continue into late June even after boat service is slated to return on June 5.
  • The dock project is part of a refurbishment running from May 2025 through 2026 that reconfigures the front entrance roadway and bus area.
  • Disney has not announced any dedicated bus to replace the water route, so guests booked in that window should plan extra travel time and expect longer monorail waits.
